Our language doesn�t have a word for the tender, protective love of a mother�the love that cannot be fallen out of, the heart that would sacrifice its own life, the fire that never needs to be stoked. Perhaps that�s why we are drawn to images of mother animals and their young. In an instant these pictures convey to the heart a love that we can�t quite capture in words. This heartfelt gift book for moms�a tribute of both words and images salutes the power, beauty, heroism, humor, and irreplaceable love of mothers everywhere.
